Re: Some Questions

Hi

I have had pain in the middle of night 3 times. Without warning or

special reason.

Normaly I take Ketogan tablet 5 mg as soon as I fell just a little

pain. I rest totaly for 5 hours and in this way I am on my feet

again. Otherwise I can be in pain for up to one hour because my

stomach will not absorbe the tablet proberly and I have to continue

with Ketogan for up to 24 hours.

In most cases I can can solve this problem taking Ketogan supp., but

when the pain is to strong I also get diarrhoea.

Pain at night is always strong from the first moment.

I often dream I am in pain and wake up bading in cold sweat. All 3

times I have first thought it is just a dream, but no. The first 2

times I had to be admitted to hospital to avoid shock.

I now use Temgesic 0,2 mg to be placed under the toungue. That

solves my problem getting fast painrelieve.

Now I take Temgesic in stead of Ketogan. Works faster and easyer. I

have problems falling asleep but since I am afraid falling asleep

when I am not sure the attack is over it does not matter so much.

Sometimes I set the alarmclock the wake me up 4 hours after the last

tablet. Then I in time will know, if I have to take more tablets or

the attack is over.

By the way I also dream that I forget not to drink beer. I wake up

bading in cold sweat, hearing famely and friends shouting at each

other who to blame. They never blame me!
